Ethereum Foundation Bolsters Board with SEAL 911 Co-Founder

The Ethereum Foundation has appointed Pascal Caversaccio, a co-founder of crypto security response group SEAL 911, to its board as part of its growing focus on privacy and security. The appointment comes after the EF described both as 'non-negotiable protocol guarantees' in June.

Caversaccio joins President Aya Miyaguchi, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, and Swiss counsel Patrick Storchenegger on the four-member board. He has been a longtime contributor to the Ethereum project and is also a member of the Foundation's Silviculture Society, which focuses on censorship resistance, open-source development, privacy, and security.

Caversaccio will serve an initial one-year term voluntarily. His appointment marks a significant shift in the EF's organizational strategy, with a greater emphasis placed on protecting its mission and ensuring compliance as a Swiss foundation.
